Time is really fast. Today is already Wednesday. Yesterday, under the guidance of my student’s friend, we went to Namba and Ame Mura. I would like to introduce to you these 2 places.

The lively Namba is situated at the south of Osaka, famous for symbols like Glico Man and Kani Doraku Crab. As Namba is a tourism spot, you can buy souvenirs and eat a lot of delicious food. If you take a look at the pictures below, you can see this ramen called Jikken Ramen (test ramen). This shop that sells the ramen trys to create a new menu item every day! Isn’t that great?

If you walk about 10 minutes from Namba, you will reach this place called Ame Mura (American Village). I was told that last time, there’s a lot of foreign people in this place, thus it’s name which was given.
